Woodstock, o., Dec. 20. 1SS7.-[To the
Editor of THE UNIvERsALIsT. IA very
interesting and important meeting Of the
Executive Committee of the Ohio Uni
versalist Convention was held on the
afternoon and evening Of Dec. let at the
office of A. B. Robinson, Secretary of the
Gas Company, Columbus. The new
chapel in process of erection by our
church in that city was not in readiness
for the meeting, but the members of the
committee visited it and all were loud in
their praises of its beauty and conven-
fence of design. The following persons
were present: A. B. Ticker, President;
j. w. Henley, Secretary; J. Richardson,
Treasurer; Hon. b. F. Thomas and W. I'll.
Slade, Trustees, and Rev. 81. L. Garfield,
State superintendent; W. J. Littell.
Vice President, was detained by some
important business. The meeting was
opened with prayer, after which the fol-
lowing, among many other items of bust
ness, we're transacted:
The vacancy in the Board of Trus-
tees caused by the resignation of Rsv. E.
F. Pember was filled by the unanimous
election of Rev. G. e. Nash.
The total expenses of the delegates
to the late session of the General Con-
vention in New York, were reported by
the Secretary to be 1926. That officer
was instructed to draw from the Treas
urer the $50 voted by the late Ohio Con
vention for expenses of delegates and
divi lie the same proportionally.
Invitations were presented from the
churches at Stryker and Jersey, for en-
pertaining the next session of the Ohio
Convention, including Ministerial AS
sociation and Sunday school Convention.
By unanimous vote, Stryker was selected.
-Brs. B. F. Thomas and A. B. Tinker,
special com mittee on re incorporation Of
the Convention, reported that after care
full investigation they did not find it
necessary to secure a new charter as the
Olu Ou0 was pCILOOtly AOBuiots AhO Ohiy
action that was necessary was to secure a
legal change of the name from that of
"The Ohio State Convention of Univers-
alists, to that of "The Ohio Universalist
Convention"
B. F. Thomas was instructed to file
a petition for such change of name in
the Common Pleas Court of Champaign
county, in which county the principal
office OF the Convention is located. Br.
Thomas has already done this and very
soon this important work will be accom-
plished, and the Convention be placed in
satisfactory position legally.
Rev. H. l.. Garfield, then presented
his report for the three months ending

interesting statistical facts, which we

MICHIGAN NOTES.
The Closing Year.

Inc closing Year.
This is the last letter for the year 1887
from Michigan, and it leads us to cast
glance over the record of twelve month.
Probably no preceding year has witnessed
so much genuine good work in the bor-
ders of our State Zion. All parts Of the
church work are we'll up. Finances,
church membership, Sunday schools, pas
toral relations, everything that goes to
make church prosperity stands high be-
fore us. Lansing is the only important
field without permanent pastor, and we
are assured that this deficiency is very
soon to be remedied. There is every rea-
son for encouragement in our retrospect,
and while we might have done even bet
ter work, we cannot but rejoice that we
have done so well. OF course we are not
to look backward longer than to get q
glance, for to the new achievements of
the future we must direct our gaze. For
ward is the motto for the new year. For
ward along every line of operation, not
one laggard anywhere. Come, brethren,
let us take hold with renewed courage
and energy that our successes may ring
with still more certain sound.
Detroit.
The influence of our church in this city
continually extends. Strangers in goodly
number are always helping to swell the
congregations, while from other churches
many flock to hear the popular preacher.
The recent special opics have attracted
increased attendance, and the closing Of
the year is prosperous beyond precedent.
The society has suffered a severe afiic-
ton in the death of Mrs. Newcomb. She
was beautiful and helpful soul, making
ever glad the hearts that knew her, and
adding not little to the prosperity OF
every good endeavor coming to her no.
tice. We mingle our sympathy with
many throughout our denomination, and
extend it to the bereaved husband and
the saddened church. The Church Of
Our Father has been in almost constant
use, week days as we'll as Sundays, since
our last writing. Musical societies have
met there, also societies for the proven
ton of cruelty to animals, union services,
etc. Detroit is coming to appreciate the
service rendered the city by this beauti-
ful and commodious structure, presided
over by an eloquent pastor and main
tanned by an intellectual, social and re-
ligious congregation equal to any.
Grand Rapids.
The new carpet is laid on the floor OF
the church, and few finishing touches
have been made to the decorations, and
altogether the pastor and people feel very
comfortable in the almost new church
quarters, and can now await the time for
building the new structure, though it be
extended very considerably. The ladies'
have just had successful fair; the Sun
day-school is enjoying thorough boom,
the " Church Helper" is promptly pub
lished, and no one is killed with over
work. Special evening sermons are be-

NEARLY READY,

The Publishing House will issue early
in the new year, the following books:
"Cousin Angie" by Marie Louisa Parker;
story of real life for children. This
will be found to be very interesting
book, and will afford great deal of
pleasure to those for whom it is written.
It will contain 206 pages.
The REDEEMBR.-A series of opening
services for the Sunday school founded
on the "Life of Jesus Christi" compiled
and edited by Rev. John Jay Lewis, with
chants and hymns arranged and edited
by Leo Rich Lewis. To be ready about
February l, 1888.
The selections from the Scriptures in
the thirty -four regular services, together
with the Superintendent's readings which
precede them, make up history of the
life of the Saviour, as recorded in the
four Gospels, and are given in the Revis-
ed Version.
Each service has responsive reading,
a chant, a prayer, and and a hymn, which
are selected or written with reference to
the respective selections from the Scrip
lures. Thus each service as we'll as the
whole series is a unit.
Services for special occasions and for
the infant class have also been inserted.
The latter have been prepared by one
who for many years, has had charge of
large primary class, and will therefore
be found specially adapted to that pur-
pose. Price and further information in
relation to the above books will be given
hereafter.

ministry.
In these last days of my ministry
can only hope to feed few scattered
lambs and assist and encourage the
younger laborers to look up with an
expectation of an abundant harvest. II

profession. am not tired of the work.
